Product Description

Most anglers these days know what a baitcaster reel is and its capabilities however the Shimano Tranx reel takes baitcasting to the next level, designed for hard core freshwater fishing for murray cod and barra as well as for saltwater brutes, with this reel think big baits, big fish, big results.

Shimano Tranx is a larger than your traditional baitcaster reel making it the perfect choice for throwing large lures at murray cod such as swimbaits. However, the tranx also makes an ideal choice for overhead light jigging offshore or for throwing, large soft plastic lures, medium size stickbaits and hardbody fishing lures.

One of the most exciting features of the Shimano Tranx Baitcatster reel is it features Shimano’s latest technological advancement being Core Protect. So, what exactly does this mean? Core Protect takes all the most important parts of the reel and makes them resistant to water. You can take the reel into some of the harshest saltwater angling environments and this reel is going to stack up much better against the elements compared to most other traditional baitcaster reels on the market for sale.

One other Key feature of the Shimano Tranx reel is the Hagane Body. A cold forged body built with a tremendous amount of durability meaning there is no flex in this fishing reel keeping all the gears and parts aligned for ultra-smoothness and the best performance output a baitcaster reel can offer. As we mentioned earlier, that’s where this reel is going to come in to play, for use with big baits for big fish and can easily stack up to the challenge.

There are a couple of models to choose from either a 300 size or a 400 size (or 301 being left hand), plus there are a few different gear ratios between the models. We will go into detail below so you can compare the differences in the features and specs, then make the decision on which model is the best choice for you.
